AB 23

[cvincent]

I made an error when cutting the side panels. The measurements are correct for spacing on the strong back and bow mold.

Both sides and the chines are zipped up. I am working on gluing everything together with epoxy.

You have done a really good job stitching the hull together. This is going to be one nice boat!

[cvincent]

Thank you sir. I really like the lines of the hull.

Nice to see one of these getting built. Good job.

[cvincent]

All of the panel seams and holes are epoxy glued. I have to sand and radius all the hard corners to prep for glassing.

I saw this video and figured I would post it. It shows the same style hull is rough water.



He has a couple other videos with different interior layouts.

Additionally, here is a video of why the hull handles chop so well and explains the concepts around the hull design. I believe the AB23 was designed around the albury 23.



thanks

I enjoyed watching the videos. I have always admired the Albury boats except for the price. These boats inspired me to build the AB 23 which is very similar and I hope it will perform as well as the Albury boats.

I do intend to add a skeg and strakes as indicated on the plans.

I am going over the entire hull and marking any low spots that need extra epoxy filler. I will most likely begin laying fiberglass tape next week.

I finished taping the chines and the keel all done wet on wet. Tomorrow I will tape the transom.
